Holy cow, this book is depressing. In the first chappter we have child abuse and the murder of an 8 year-old girl, and it's not even the same kid! I read this book when it first came out and for the life of me I can't remember who the killer is...

I think I remember the matriarch being a major bitch, but that just may be because she named her twin daughters Hope and Faith. Seriously.

Windfall

I've started Windfall, which is the fourth book in Rachel Caine's "Weather Warden" series. I really like this series. I originally thought that the main character, Joanne, would end up being some boring-ass Mary Sue.
Yay for being wrong!

Recappy deliciousness!

Lilli reading ~fine literature~

Success at Goodwill!

Fade Out

I just finished the 7th book in The Morganville Vampires series by Rachel Caine. I really enjoy these books and highly rec them to anybody into vampires. I just wish the books were longer! Book 8 won't be out until May 2010.
*sigh*

John Bellairs FTW!

When I was in elementary school, John Bellairs' books scared the ever-loving crap out of me. You can imagine how thrilled I was when I found The Curse of The Blue Figurine at Books For Less for about a buck.

Photographic Lulz

Okay, I'm not sure if this cover is a fail or a win and here's why:
The woman on the top left is Lauren. Her hair actually looks light brown. I don't know if it's the light or something, but it makes me happy. The guy getting cuffed is Dash Ramirez. I'm not going to really comment on the perceived white-breadedness ofCover Dude, because I've known some pretty fair-skinned Latinos. Hey, it happens!
Bottom is Melissa and Danny. I like it a lot.

Now, on the right side it appears Dash is being arrested. Well, or into kink. I make no judgments.
On the left, are powdered donuts.
You get where this is going, right?

In other news, the back blurb fails because the character 'Rico Santoya' is called 'Pico Santoya'. Hmmm, don't they pay people to keep that from happening?

Freshman Roommate

Faith ends up with a male roomate named Becker Cain, who turns out to be a manipulative, controlling slimeball, who apparently thinks the way to a woman's heart is plagiarism-by-proxy. Winnie and Lauren are hounding poor Faith throughout the whole book which makes Becker seem even more appealing

Lauren apparently feels nobody has ever been feminist before her. She insults Dash and basically acts like an entitled moron. She assumes that Faith won't mind her taking a nap in her dorm room (you know, the one Lauren doesn't live in anymore?) and assaults Becker by punching him in the face and kicking him in the balls Unsurprisingly, this does not endear Faith to Lauren.

Liza meets Travis (Winnie's Europe trip ex) and discovers Rich evil revenge plot. She ends up completely broke, but Rich's dad is so impressed with her, she actually gets a walk-on part with 5 lines! And Travis kisses her! OOOH!

Melissa is for some bizarre reason hanging out with her track nemesis, Caitlin. This is the same girl who tried to screw up M's relationship with Brooks to distract her from her racing. (Now that I think about it, Melissa should be kissing C's feet.) Anyway, they're doing steroids now.

Recap up!

Freshman Truths

KC meets her mother and discovers her mother's past alcoholism. She deals with this by getting completely shit-faced on Russian vodka. Oh, and a DJ she barely knows trys to get her deepest, darkest secrets.

Liza and Rich are happy. SQUEE! Oh, wait! Rich totally wants revenge on L for swiping his dummy and stuffing him under a bunch of coats and ruining his chances to be on TV. Rich, of course, discovers this after L's interview with Cody.

Kimberly is accused stealing money from the dorms.Why? Basically, because she's black. Guess who the thief is? Melissa! Kimberly gets her rage on in an interview with Cody (for a guy that just showed up last book, he sure gets around fast!)

Lauren gets sick of the poor pitiful me shtick she had going on with Melissa and decides to actually live her life.

Courtney still chases Dash, even though he has no interest in her. Finally, she gets over it and take a job with finance whiz Eric Sutter.

New Anita Blake Book Covers

These are so atrocious. The best AB covers were the old Ace ones. You know the ones that actually have vampires and zombies? Yeah, those. Now, you're stuck with cobers with circulars saws and claw marks that look like nails. I thought they were nails to represent the pounding into the coffin of LKH's writing talent. Alas, no.

I think it's safe to say that when House of Night has better covers than you after going through four diferent styles...there's just no more hope.

Next Book!

I've decided that the next book I will recap will be in the Countdown series by Daniel Parker Don't feel bad if you've never heard of it.

The plot goes thusly, what if everybody over 21 melted into a puddle of black goo and thurvivors were the smeggiest smegheads to ever smeg a smeg?

Be there or be square...

Freshman Dorm Book Cover Fail

So, in the Freshman Dorm book series there is a character by the name of Lauren Turnbell-Smythe. She is described as having light brown hair and being chubby...and apparently the most heinous choice for the "Trash Your Room mate Dance"

I have to ask, though. Why in the purple crap is the girl portraying Lauren blond and not in the least bit chubby?

Late on recap again.

Urgh! I really need to finish up Zoey Fools Around. I start it and get so disgusted with Joke's behavior and it makes me D:

I really want to use this to chronicle the cheesy books I read and random thoughts about movies/tv shows based on books.

Incoherence is bliss

Been inspired. Will write more later. Decided not to finish the AB series. Load off my mind.
